Wars of Castro
The Wars of Castro describe a series of events in the mid-seventeenth century revolving around the ancient city of Castro (located in present-day LazioItaly), which eventually resulted in the city's destruction on September 2, 1649. The conflict was a result of a power struggle between the papacy — represented by members of two deeply entrenched Roman families, the  Barberini Pope Urban VIII and then the Pamphili Pope Innocent X — and the  Farnese dukes of Parma, who controlled Castro and its surrounding territories.
